The West Ellerbee Creek Trail winds along the stream of the same name. Beginning on Albany Drive in the Watts-Hillandale area of Durham, the paved trail travels through 17-acre Preserve, a protected area of restored riparian woodland, then skirts the north end of Westover Park, crosses Guess Street and ducks under I-85. The I-85 underpass consists of a boardwalk over sensitive wetlands but the trail transitions back to pavement as it winds northeast. The trail crosses North Pointe Road, where residents can access big box retail and other stores, then proceeds to Broad Street, where it connects to the city's North-South Greenway corridor.
Parking is available at Westover Park (1859 Maryland Avenue). The trail is just beyond the circle. The park also features a water fountain, play area and picnic facilities.
Just ended to soon to be useful for biking.
Really nice trail! The section behind Costco is really nice. There is a cool tunnel under I-85 with murals. Be really careful at the Guess Road crossing. The western section has cool art work, and it ends at a nice park.
